Suggestions for New York's Finger Lakes Region

The Krebs has a lovely brunch menu.

Yes, the Krebs is wonderful. Also if you are in the area, visit the south end of the lake and try the Glen Haven. You can eat out on the deck overlooking the lake. A little more casual than the Krebs, but the food is terrific. Love the Deviled Steak.

I’m taking notes. You guys are the best. Thanks!

You could, for example. follow the Seneca Lake Wine Trail From Geneva to Burdett.
Stop in Finger Lakes Distilling, they make some truly outstanding product there.
Then head over to Ithaca, stopping off on the way to see Taughannock Falls.

The state parks ringing Ithaca are really nice, great farmer’s market, and there’s lots to do there. There is even an outdoor concert series on The Commons in the summer- everyone gets out and and boogies!

We were up there twice last summer. We usually do stuff like: take walks (or just sit and read) in a couple of the parks, go to the Cornell plantations, see a play or concert, or both. Hit the Farmer’'s market, and Wegman’s, on the way home.

We recently visited Canadaigua, which is a very cute town. Also, visited the Glen Curtiss museum as suggested upstream, and Dr. Frank’s Winery on Keuka Lake. I had never done wine tasting before, but the gentleman who was behind the bar was very helpful. We did walk out with quite a few bottles :slight_smile: If I went back, I would definitely try to hit Watkins Glen. I have been to Ithaca a few times. It’s a nice town to walk around, lots of restaurants. I think the hotels are a little overpriced.

There is always the Finger Lakes Drive in Movie Theater:

Lots of good breweries there. We stayed at Watkins Glen Harbour Hotel. It was weakly nice place to stay

We attended a wedding at Mirbeau Inn and it was quite nice (and pretty expensive). That area really is lovely in the summer.

We camped in the area several years with family from Michigan, since it was half way. Letchworth one year, Buttermilk Falls another.

Lots of fun visiting wineries, Watkins Glen (indeed spectacular), the various falls/swimming holes in state parks, the Cornell art museum, etc.

Is the Moosewood Restaurant still there? I missed it, much to my chagrin.

It is indeed! http://www.moosewoodcooks.com/restaurant/
